...concern: the Mexican Foreign Office said at week's end that it did not consider him to be the usual political exile, immune to extradition. The same may go for Cruz Wer. But informed Mexicans and Guatemalans believe that Arbenz will qualify as "political" and get permanent asylum...
...north of the city instead of $80,000 in lottery money they really wanted. The college fortunately was unable to move at the time, and when it finally had to, through desperate need of space, the trustees found it less expensive to take over the old Deaf and Dumb Asylum between 40th and 50th Streets, right next to the half-covered coffins in Potter's Field, than to build on the botanical land.

These and earlier departures brought the greatest mass dash for diplomatic refuge in Latin America's history close...
